Background

There is now plenty of evidence that climate change is taking place. Climate change will

affect everyone but developing countries will be hit hardest, soonest while they have the

least capacity to respond. Asia is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change

with its heavy population, long coastlines, large agricultural sectors and big proportion of

population living in poverty. There is an urgent need in the region therefore for capacity

building of both national and local state and societal actors concerned with adaptation to

address threats and pressures resulting from to climate change.

The Korea Adaptation Center for Climate Change (KACCC) was launched at Korea

Environment Institute (KEI) in July 2009. The overall objective of the KACCC is to help build

climate resilience of vulnerable societies, ecosystems, and economies through the

mobilization of knowledge and technologies of adaptation policy-setting, planning, and

practices specially for the Asia and Pacific Region. As a regional network under the Global

Adaptation Network (GAN), the Asia Pacific Adaptation Network (APAN) was launched in

2009, facilitated by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Institute for

Global Environmental Strategies (IGES), and the Asian Institute of Technology/UNEP Regional

Resource Centre for Asia and the Pacific (AIT/UNEP RRC.AP). The overall goal of the APAN is

to help build climate resilience of vulnerable human systems, ecosystems and economies in

Asia through the mobilization and sharing of knowledge and technologies to support climate

change adaptation (CCA) in the region. The specific objectives of APAN include the following:

i) to generate and share of knowledge and information on adaptation to enhance adaptation

actions; ii) to facilitate application of appropriate knowledge to adaptation programs/

projects; iii) to facilitate access to adaptation finance mechanisms; and, iv) develop the

capacity of national and local planners, communities, development partners and the private

sector in adaptation.

Since both KACCC and APAN have the capacity building focus in their respective goals and

objectives, a training program have been collaboratively designed, also in collaboration with

UNEP - Regional Office for Asian and the Pacific (UNEP-ROAP), to improve adaptation

capacity to climate change in the Asia and Pacific region. In 2010, the Regional Workshop to

Raise Awareness and Enhance Action on Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation at the

Sub-national Level was co-organized by KEI/KACCC and UNEP-ROAP in Phuket, Thailand on

25-27 August under Territorial Approach to Climate Change Initiative. This year the Regional

Training on Cross-Sectoral Climate Change Adaptation Planning was held to improve capacity

of national and local authorities in their adaptation planning for climate change. This training

provided a good opportunity for participants to learn frontline findings and innovations,

opportunities and challenges in climate change adaptation.

Program Overview

Program Objectives

The training aims to improve the capacity of national and local authorities in their

adaptation planning for climate change. The specific objectives set are the following:

Provide general concepts on impacts of climate change, vulnerabilities and risk

assessment, climate change adaptation and mitigation.

Introduce different dimensions and approaches of climate change adaptation at

regional and national levels.

Provide examples on adaptation in vulnerable sectors and areas such as agriculture,

water, coastal zone, etc.

Provide guidance on mainstreaming and integrating adaptation into national

planning processes for the different sectors

Provide guidance on cross sectoral planning.

Learning Objectives

It is expected that by the end of the training, the participants would:

Have deeper understanding regarding the general concepts on impacts of climate

change, vulnerabilities and risk assessment, climate adaptation and mitigation

Be familiar with different dimensions and approaches of climate change adaptation

Through the examples to be presented, understand the practical adaptation in most

vulnerable sectors and areas

Be able to bring in or integrate adaptation approaches into their national planning

processes for different sectors

Have better understanding on incorporation of climate change in cross sectoral

planning.

Partnerships for the Organization of the Training

The training was co-sponsored by the Korea Environment Institute (KEI) through the Korea

Adaptation Center for Climate Change (KACCC) and the Institute for Global Environmental

Strategies (IGES) through Asia Pacific Adaptation Network (APAN). KEI is Korea’s foremost

research institution, which has been actively involved in drawing up policies to resolve

environmental problems and promote sustainable eco-friendly development. KACCC is a

national agency which expedites effective strategies and improves the overall capacity of

Korea, and coordinates international cooperation regarding climate change adaptation.

KACCC was established by Ministry of Environment at the Korea Environment Institute on

July, 2009. IGES, established under an initiative of the Japanese government in 1998, is an

5

international research institute conducting practical and innovative research for realising

sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific region. APAN is the first network established

under the Global Adaptation Network (GAN). It was launched in 2009, facilitated by the

United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Institute for Global Environmental

Strategies (IGES), and the Asian Institute of Technology/UNEP Regional Resource Centre for

Asia and the Pacific (AIT/UNEP RRC.AP). The workshop was also organized in coordination

with the United Nations Environment Programme – Regional Office for Asian and the Pacific

(UNEP-ROAP).

Participants and Resource Persons

The training brought together representatives from the national or sub-national government

authorities with needs to enhance their respective capacities in climate change adaptation.

About 50 participants attended the event, of which 27 were trainees and the rest were

distinguished guests, resource persons, and organizers. The trainees came from 11 Asian

countries, namely: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka in South Asia; Cambodia,

Indonesia, Lao PDR, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam in Southeast Asia; and Mongolia in

Northeast Asia. Male and female participants were almost equal, numbering 13 and 14

respectively.

The resource persons that delivered the training modules were from AIT, UNEP-ROAP, IGES

Regional Center (Bangkok), ISET Nepal, KEI and SEA-START. (List of participants and resource

persons is attached in Annex 1 of this report.)

Delivery of the Training

The training is comprised of four modules. Each module has two activities: lecture and group

discussion. The first two modules were delivered during the first day of the training, and the

latter two modules were given the second day.

Module 1: Vulnerability and Adaptation, and Typologies of Adaptation

Module 2: Introduction to Policy Integration and Cross-Sector Approach

Module 3: Pillars of Effective Cross-Sector Approach to Adaptation Strategy

Module 4: Group Exercise in SWOT Analysis of Country Adaptation Options and

Identifying Priority Measures for Improving Policy Integration and Coherency

in CC Adaptation Strategy

The detailed agenda of the training is attached in Annex 2.

Reception Dinner at Siam City Hotel

The event began with the welcome remarks from Dr. Young Woo Park, Regional Director for

UNEP Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (UNEP-ROAP), and Dr. Byung-Kook Lee,

Director of Korea Adaptation Centre for Climate Change (KACCC).

The first module consisted of a refresher lecture on the basic concepts on vulnerability and

adaptation and the link between the two as well as the typologies of adaptation actions. It

was presented Ms. Raji Dhital. A group exercise applying the concepts discussed in the

lecture followed. The participants were grouped into four, and each group was assigned a

specific National Adaptation Programme of Action or National Communication submitted to

UNFCC by an Asian country to examine. The groups were then asked to identify the

particular vulnerabilities highlighted in their assigned country NAPAs or NCs and the

corresponding adaptation statement(s) used in the document to address the vulnerability

7

and the classification of the said main adaptation action(s). (The NAPA or NC document of

Bangladesh, Bhutan, Philippines or Vietnam was each assigned to one of the four groups.)

While the exercise initially focused on two sectors (water and agriculture), the participants

also identified forest, disaster and food security as the other vulnerable sectors in their

respective NAPA or NC assignment. Intra-group examination of pertinent sections of

assigned document familiarized its members on the particular vulnerabilities and adaptation

measures stated in the country’s adaptation paper, and to tacitly or explicitly compare

certain contents of vulnerability and adaptation statements to their own home country’s

situation or priorities in adaptation. More importantly, each group’s discussion focused on

identifying and analyzing core features of most important vulnerabilities and corresponding

adaptation statements in agriculture and water sectors, and the various types and range of

measures to be employed. This exercise thus provided an immediate and concrete occasion

for participants to reflect on and apply their understandings of most important concepts

introduced or refreshed in the preceding first lecture. Further, group reporting of results of

discussions in the plenary enriched the participants knowledge stock of forms of

vulnerability and corresponding types and range of adaptation in two southeast and two

south Asian countries in the region.

The group activity was followed by a lecture on policy integration and cross-sector approach

to adaptation by Dr. Edsel E. Sajor and another group exercise. These two activities comprise

Module 2 of the training. Dr. Sajor’s lecture explained the characteristics and need and for a

systemic approach by government to the agenda of vulnerability and adaptation, and

highlighted how vulnerability and adaptation issues have to date been dominantly been

approached from sector perspective in the documents of NAPAS and NCs. The lecture also

8

introduced and discussed the core meaning of policy integration and coherency, types of

policy integration, and provided a checklist on improving integration and policy coherence

for Climate Change adaptation.

With the same grouping from the first exercise and working on the same country adaptation

document used in the first exercise, the participants assessed the compatibility of planned

adaptation actions stated in the two sectors identified in the first group activity. The group

then discussed likely scenarios and evaluated the corresponding nature of internal inter-

relationship of aims, measures and outcomes between each of the two sectors. This group

exercise sharpen the awareness of members to the fact that certain adaptation trajectories

and results in agriculture collaterally affects another sector in a complementary or

contradictory way/s. Through this exercise, group members were able to apply concepts

given in Dr. Sajor’s lecture in identifying win-win, win-loss, or loss-loss scenarios in the likely

impacts of government planned adaptation actions between two sectors. Through the use

of a compatibility matrix between agriculture and one or two other sectors’ adaptation plan

or policies, a systemic perspective and sensitivity to and need for integrative approach and

coherency in cross-sector planning of government bodies were instilled among the

participants.

1730 - 1745 Closing Remarks

The third module consisted of several lectures and a case presentation. Dr. Ajaya Dixit.

Presented a lecture on knowledge and science-policy nexus for cross-sector adaptation and

Dr. Daisuke Sano discussed the multi-stakeholder engagement involved policy integration. A

talk on integrative administration and capacity for cross-sector adaptation was given by Dr.

Mozaharul Alam. The case presentation on integrative administration of National Adaptation

Planning and implementation in Thailand was delivered by Mr. Suppakorn Chinvanno to give

the participant a concrete example on how administrative and cross-sectoral integration was

applied on a national policy development and meso-level implementation in Thailand. In

10

these three presentations, participants became more cognizant of the several important

requirements for progress to be achieved in integrative and cross-sector adaptation

planning, namely, in the field of knowledge and science-policy research, in the field of multi-

stakeholder engagement, and in the field of administrative reforms and building capacity in

government. The last presentation of this module in particular, a case study in Thailand,

illustrated to the participants how integration and cross-sectoral approach in adaptation

planning is operationalized and the changes and specific challenges that this entails in

certain routine and conventional way of looking at the problem and solution, which are

dominant in certain relevant government agencies in Thailand.

Fourth module began with lecture on how to prioritize adaptation measures from Dr. Yeora

Chae. It then moved to the country group discussion of their NAPAs or NCs. The participants

were grouped according to country affiliation and were asked to assess the strengths,

weaknesses, opportunities and threats to integrative and cross-sector approach to

adaptation policy making and planning as expressed in their country’s NAPA or NC. SWOT

analysis covered the most important statements pertaining to inter-sectoral compatibility or

inter-relationship, and to knowledge base and research support for policy, multi-stakeholder

engagement and procedures involved in preparing the documents. Analysis also scoped the

document’s reference to administrative and capacity building issues associated with the task

of integration. Each country group came up with their own SWOT assessment on various

subject areas in the document. Because of the members’ familiarity with their own

country’s particular situation, SWOT assessment by almost country group went beyond

simple document content analysis, but made reference to their own knowledge of existing

conditions of government and relevant societal groups, which are key players in formulating

and implementing adaptation goals and strategies. Though only a limited time was allotted,

11

on the whole this SWOT exercise was successful in imparting to the participants the

analytical perspective that should underpin the identification and examination of problems,

constraints, opportunities and strengths in moving forward integrative and cross-sector

planning in their respective countries. This understanding is evident in their analysis of the

current situation and the list of priority recommendations made for overcoming hurdles and

challenges to integrative approach and cross-sector planning in Climate Change adaptation.

Towards the end, participants provided their feedback and evaluation the training by filling

the event feedback forms as well as self-assessment forms. The forms are attached in Annex

4.

To conclude the training, Dr. Mozaharul Alam concluded the training event with a closing

remark. He also led the distribution of certificate of participation to each trainee participant.

Feedback and Lessons Learnt

Event Feedback

The participants were asked to evaluate the following:

1. Pre-event information

According to the exit survey, 90.91% of the participants agreed that the information

circulated prior to the workshop was fully or mostly useful. Further, 95% of the participants

also opined that the information disseminated were accurate (see Figure 1 below).

12

Upon arrival and registration, all participants were provided with the training kit consisting

of a canvass handbag that contains the filing folder holding the printouts of the lecture

presentations, exercise sheets and brochures of APAN, IGES and KEI.

Figure 1. Degree to which information circulated prior to the workshop

2. Objectives of the Workshop

The participants were asked to evaluate each module based on the clarity of the objective,

relevance of the objective to their needs, and degree of success to which they thought the

session was useful in meeting the objective.

Majority of the participants’ gave a positive (i.e., “mostly” or “fully”) on their evaluation of

how the objective was explained, how it was relevant to the training and their practice, and

how effective each module was utilized to meet the training objectives. While none of the

participants rated the modules negatively, a significant percentage of around 9% to 14% of

the participants feel that the objectives for each module was only more or less met with

clarity, relevance and success. (See Figure 2 next page.)

Some participants opined that Module 1 was more academic and needs to provide more

information. A participant noted that application of concepts discussed in Module 2 can be

challenging when practiced in reality. A participant also suggested that the lecture should

provide an introduction that would clarify the interrelations between sectors further. For

Module 3, some participants noted the need to present more successful cases of effective

cross-sectoral integration. One participant suggested that Module 4 should include a field

trip or site visit.

3. Value of the content of the event

Ninety-one percent (91%) of the participants felt that information provided by training was

totally and mostly new. With regards to the relevance of the workshop, 95% of the

participants claimed that the content was fully and mostly relevant to their jobs. All the

participants answered that they would fully and mostly likely use the information they

acquired from the training.

participants as the most interesting and useful (see

15

Table 1 above) . A participant opined that the lecture was highly relevant and that the

presenter was highly knowledgeable of his material.

The lecture for Module 2 regarding “Policy Integration and Cross-Sector Approach to

Adaptation” was the second most liked lecture in terms of relevance and usefulness.

Only Module 1 lecture presentation was regarded as not useful for the training due to lack of

in-depth explanation regarding the materials. The ability of the lecturer to present was poor

as the lecturer was only reading from the slides.

4. Methodology, delivery and intent to use

According to the majority of the trainees, the methodologies used in the training were

“mostly” and “extremely” appropriate and effective for both the introductory presentations

and Q&A discussions (see Figure 3).

With regards to the performance of the support staff, 95.5% of the respondents found they

are “mostly” and “extremely” effective both in terms of coordinating and communicating

with the participants and responding to their needs. Several participants found the materials

to be good, comprehensive, useful and relevant.

6. Intent to use

Majority of the respondents answered that they are “very likely” (64%) and extremely likely

(36%) to use the information acquired from the event in their organizations. Fifty percent of

the participants opined that they would likely encounter challenges or obstacles if they

apply the information and skills they acquire from the training.

The participants opined that the concepts of cross-sector integration may not be easy to put

into practice. Each government agency would sometimes have their internal rules and

regulations. Thus, it would require unique arrangements among and between national and

sub-national organizations if they are to integrate policy planning and implementation. A

paradigm change on how governmental organizations think and work is needed and would

greatly affect how they currently deal with their human resources, financial resources,

organizational structure and internal and inter-agency policy arrangements. The participants

also raised the lack of awareness among policy makers with regards to effective cross-sector

integration, especially among local level government organizations. A participant from

Vietnam shared that for the past 30 years that she has been conducting trainings in

communities around Vietnam, obstacles in cooperation between and among sectors are

prevalent.

7. Event Structure and Logistics

Most of the participants consider that the time allocated for the discussion and Q&A and

sharing and networking sessions were “mostly sufficient” or “extremely sufficient” (see

Figure 5 below). However, a considerable percentage of the participants were also “not

sure” or considered the time allocated for each session “not sufficient”. Eighty six percent

(86%) of the participants think that the overall length of the event was adequate. However,

14% found the training too short.

8. Overall Satisfaction Rating

Overall, majority of the participants (55%) were “mostly” satisfied with the training. A

significant portion of the participants (36%) were “extremely” satisfied (see Figure 7). Only

9% was not sure if the training experience was satisfying or not.

Figure 7. Overall Satisfaction Rating

All of the participants would recommend the training to their colleague. The participants

found the training useful, enriching and informative, and helpful in improving their

knowledge on climate change adaptation and capacity on cross-sector integration. It

provided an opportunity for them to gain new knowledge and develop skill regarding climate

change adaptation and also to network with other climate change practitioners in the

region.

The participants also suggested other event topics that they think would be useful to further

develop their knowledge, skills and competencies:

• Linking solid waste management to climate change adaptation

• Developing a local climate change action plan

• Improving public awareness on reduction of climate change impact

• Institutional strengthening and capacity building

• Linking adaptation plan between local community and national-internal level

Several recommendations were also raised by the participants on ways that the training can

be improved further:

• Field trips and site visits should also accompany the lectures

• Support more participants, especially from developing countries

• Improve the quality and readability of the handouts (maximum of 2 slides per

sheet)

• Showcase IEC materials regarding the impacts of climate change

• Set more time for group discussions for each topic

9. Self-Assessment

After the training, majority of the participants considered that they improved their

understanding regarding the issues of integrative and cross-sector approach in climate

change adaptation planning as well as the means on how to put the theories discussed in

the lectures into practice (see Figure 8).

Figure 8. Competency Level Improvement After the Training

Lessons Learnt

In the two-day training, participants were introduced to the basic concepts of vulnerability

and adaptation and types of adaptation, to essential concepts and principles of policy

integration and cross-sector approach to adaptation planning, and to important pillars of

integrated and cross-sector approach to adaptation strategy, namely, knowledge platform,

multi-stakeholder participation and important administrative and capacity issues. The main

tools used for training were lectures, document content analysis exercise, and case study

presentations. As their synthesizing exercise, the participants were further instructed to

examine closely their own country’s adaptation document, and identify the strength,

weakness, opportunities and threats (SWOT analysis) to integrative approach and cross-

sector planning to adaptation. In this final exercise, new perspective and understandings

acquired by the participants in the previous sessions were applied to identify critical areas

needing intervention and changes as well as recommendations for problem solving or

improvements. It should be noted that the fact that during the SWOT exercise most country

groups presented situations and recommendations that went beyond what have been

explicitly stated in their own NAPA or NC documents, but rather based on their own

knowledge of certain characteristics or country-specific circumstances directly bearing on

the task to promote and operationalize cross-sector planning, reveals their much sharpened

and clearer understanding of the principles and concepts introduced. Collated results from

relevant feedback surveys among the participants also confirm this new appreciation of

cross-sector planning and improved understanding of relevant concepts, principles, and

application.

It is also noteworthy that this training has been a sort of knowledge initiation for the

majority of participants on the particular subject topic of integrative and cross-sector

approach to adaptation. This is certainly an important breakthrough in competency building

in adaptation planning among relevant government officials and personnel in Asian

countries participating.

While the substantive contents of discussions in group exercise sessions that examined

various countries’ NAPAS or NCs have been about country-specific situations, problems and

challenges to cross-sector planning, it is also clear that many countries’ government face

similar problems and situations especially in the domains of government and societal forces’

activation and mobilization to advance such an endeavor. There are also common

institutional constraints commonly facing every country group. Thus, there is indeed a

strong justification for region-wide inter-country workshop training on cross-sector

adaptation such as this one. Commonly shared problems and experiences vis-à-vis cross-

sector adaptation planning situations have made discussions and learning more robustly

grounded yet adequately abstracted to pass the standard of a more or less universal

applicability for developing countries in the region.

Based on some of the feedbacks from participants themselves, and by the very novel nature

of the focal subject theme of this particular training workshop (i.e. integrative and cross-

sector planning approach to climate change adaptation), being able to strike a good balance

between introducing and clarifying relevant concepts and principles, on the one hand, and

presenting concrete illustrative cases of operationalizing these on the ground, on the other

hand, remains a daunting challenge. There are important reasons for this difficulty. For one,

to date there are not many cases known in the region that can serve as ‘good practice’

models in integrative and cross-sector planning on Climate Change adaptation, which can be

used for training material, whether these be at the macro-national or local level,. For

another, participants often have to still be introduced to key principles and concepts on a

new subject theme, since they have not commonly encountered them before. What the

organizers can do in this regard is to start a case study bank and also to draw up good list of

resource speakers who are intimately familiar with these pioneer good-practice cases.

Simultaneously, they should also be good in making sure that lecture speakers really focus

and limit themselves only to discussing and explaining key concepts and principles directly

relevant to the theme or sub-theme of cross-sector adaptation. In this way, discussion and

explanation of basic theory and principle are given ample time and central focus when kept

21

to the essential minimum, while the elaboration and substantiation of their applications in

the real world of adaptation planning are principally transmitted through concrete study

cases and exercises given to the participants.

That said, it is strongly recommended here that a second and third edition of this

‘experimental’ training on the same subject theme be conducted. This will not only increase

the number of trainee-participants from each country. More importantly, this can result to a

much improved training workshop and conduct on this particular theme, whose third

edition form can be replicated widely and regularized as an essential training on climate

change adaptation, to be given subsequently in a cascading manner to government and non-

government organizations in each developing country in Asia.

Annex 3: Exercise Sheets

Module 1: Exercise Sheet

Group Exercise Steps:

1) Familiarize yourselves quickly with the Executive Summary of the selected country

NAPA/National Communication document and documents selected sections.

2) Discuss and fill in the corresponding cells in the table below:

a) In various parts of the document, identify the particular vulnerabilities

highlighted in agriculture, water, and another focal area. Write down a core

statement for each, based on the document, on the rows of the first column in

the table below.

b) Identify and examine the corresponding adaptation defined in the document for

the particular vulnerability related to agriculture, water and another focal area.

Discuss the particular action planned and classify this according to the

classification of adaptation action discussed in the lecture. Fill in the cells of the

last two columns of the table below:

Particular Vulnerability Highlighted

Corresponding Adaptation Statement

Classification of Main Adaptation Action

Group Exercise Steps:

1) Closely examine the major sectors in the selected NAPA/National Communication

document.

2) Select and write down one or two other sectors of adaptation identified in the

document in the rows of Adaptation Sector’s Compatibility Matrix, in addition to

agriculture and water sectors.

3) Discuss the likely scenarios and corresponding nature of internal inter-relationship of

aims, measures and outcomes between each two sectors.

4) Make an evaluative judgment on the likely or actual nature of the inter-relation in

the interface cell of two sectors, and use the suggested color code to express this.

5) Briefly state your group’s reasons underpinning your evaluation color code for each

two sectors’ compatibility.

Country Group Exercise Steps:

• Step One: Examine the subjects and scope of sectoral and cross-sector concerns of

your country’s NAPA or National Communication document through a quick reading

of the Executive Summary and priority areas defined in vulnerability and adaptation

sections.

• Step Two: Evaluate the internal interrelationship of each sector and identify the

complementation and disharmonies between agriculture and water sector, and with

another sector discussed in the document.

• Step Three: Identify and evaluate the research activities, mechanisms, and outputs

that served as the knowledge base for developing this document, especially on the

discussions pertaining to agriculture, water and another sector, and draw two or

three priority recommendations for this.

• Step Four: Examine and evaluate the multi-stakeholder engagement and procedures

involved – or absent -- in the making of the document; draw two or three priority

recommendations related to this.

• Step Five: Examine the extent to which the administrative issues of integration and

cross-sector approach have been addressed in the document; draw two or three

priority recommendations related to this.

• Step Six: Draw up a SWOT Quadrant that summarizes the group’s most important

evaluation points in Steps 2, 3, 4, and 5; make a corresponding recommendation

measure for each.

• Step Seven: Presentation of the SWOT Quadrant and list of recommendations.

(For the discussion and evaluation, follow the questions in the SWOT chart below.)

32

Strength

How are agriculture, water and another sector strongly and explicitly integrated and cohered in the document?

What is a good mechanism of integration in these areas in your country CC document related to knowledge for policy, multi-stakeholder engagement, integrative administration or capacity building plan?

What corresponding measure may be important to enhance further this strength related integration and cross-sector planning of vulnerability and adaptation.

Weakness

How are agriculture, water and another sector poorly integrated or lacking in coherence in your country’s CC document?

What is the most important element or dimension lacking or weak in integration and cross-sector approach in your country’s CC document, in the areas knowledge, multi-stakeholder, administrative or capacity issues?

What is the corresponding measure necessary to address these weaknesses?

Opportunities

What may be the policy environment, extreme events, public sentiments, external donor initiatives or other drivers that can provide opportunities for pushing integration and cross-sector policy approach and planning between agriculture and water sectors?

What is your main recommendation to seize this opportunity?

Threats

Identify a current threat to achieving progress in integrated and cross-sector approach to national government adaptation planning and implementation Name one important institutional, resource, technology, or economic and political threat to integration and policy coherency in CC adaptation.

What is your recommended measure to address these threats in the short and long-term?
